By Bryan Reynolds -
We have trudged our way through a few days of those silly distractions known as "games," and we are back in business for our little contest.
Today, a couple of the heavyweights from round one square off in a bout for the ages. Intent to Blow vs The Trapezoid. Choose well, my friends. We have already lost high sticking double minor, the shootout, slashing the stick, Rule 48, and the instigator along the way. Choose incorrectly, and you shall forever be mocked. Choose wisely, and the NHL has agreed to change the rule we crown champion*.
Today's Rules:
Not for nothing, I enjoy that the paint code is "PMS 186."
Why do these rules suck?
Intent to Blow (from previous post):
Why it sucks even more: it has cost teams games. It is difficult to pin an entire game on one call, but more times than not, when intent to blow is involved, it winds up costing someone a game. That can't happen.
The Trapezoid (from previous post):
In other words, would the NHL ever create a rule to prevent a goal scorer from scoring too many goals? Then why create a rule preventing a goalie from stopping too many?
*Offer subject to reality check. If you believe the sky to be green, and grass to be purple, then this offer can actually happen. If however, you are in this reality, it is not real.
